Trump disappointed in NATO: Plan B? • FRANCE 24 English

Key points· Video

• As NATO foreign ministers gather in southern Sweden, fresh questions are growing over President Trump’s commitment to the alliance.
• The message from Washington today came via Secretary of State Marco Rubio, amid continuing uncertainty over Article 5 — NATO’s collective defence guarantee.
• In recent months, President Trump has raised doubts over US support for allies, alongside reports of possible troop withdrawals from Europe and tensions over Greenland.
• Just weeks ago, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested thousands of American troops could be pulled from Germany and deployments to Poland reduced.
• Today though, Rubio announced that 5,000 US troops would instead be sent to Poland, which is also preparing to receive its first F-35 fighter jets as it strengthens its defences against Russia.
